The green promise

The green promise                                                                                   

A wedding in Cana and the water is turned to wine.
Jesus saving the best for last.

An exchange of vows and then transfiguration –
on the tongues of true believers, water is wine.

A double-yoked life then,
and a conception:  an offspring –

the child you must become, father to the man.
An exchange of vows, a green promise

and a sweet new crush after the ripening
and the best saved for last.

O honored guest, through these daunting times
let us drink to the green promise,

the sweet crush, the saving
of the best for last, the best for last.

O child of God, to reach the Oneness
get drunk enough to obliterate all boundaries.
